Recently, it's become clear that administration is struggling to lend an ear to the undergraduate student body. This dilemma needs to end, and it starts with a strong and proactive USG.
Thus, I am running to collaborate, empower, and encourage the people in USG to transform its culture to be more unified, collaborative, accountable, and welcoming. I envision a USG that is genuine and transparent that can better advocate FOR you and WITH you when advocating toward the university administration. So MOVE with MALCOM and MY SLATE!
PRIORITIES
I want to make Princeton’s USG and its role of advocacy on behalf of students literally be the USG of YOU.
It will start with Talk2USG Open Houses.
These will be pop-up events to speak with USG Senate and Committee Members in Frist with varying faces each week, to have genuine and transparent conversations with people about policy initiatives and to what the different faces in the Senate & CPUC actually do.
Additionally, I will push for the public comments period to be more visible and accessible so that you knowing that you “can speak with USG” feels more real.
Hence, you will see more Public Comments advertising.
You will meet and get to ask your U-Councilors to bring forward to Admin at CPUC your concerns and ideas.
I will build accountability in the USG Senate by encouraging unified and inter-officer collaboration.
My plan is to nurture a culture & framework for USG, codified in its constitution, to use its influence to relentlessly & constructively make administration hear U!
Additionally, I shall find ways to reduce orientation fatigue, and restore the integrity of community-building during orientation. I will also advocate for a Peer Mentorship Initiative that starts at First-Year Orientation within the residential colleges to provide advice and foster conversations across grades is established.
I will continue my previous USG Athletics Intiative to build a stronger Athletics Initiative supporting student athletes.
(BUS SCHEDULES!)
This pursuit also includes pushing for the Athletics Engagement Initiative/Committee to be permanent.
My next goal goal is to provide students with unprecedented, natural access to University Administration, arising from direct collaborative action between those within USG and University Admin.
In short, I will strive for low-pressure informal pop-up events where you can speak with Admin in Frist.
The Tigers deserve more events to form connections across class-years feel uneasy.
This matter begins with transforming Clash of the Colleges to be attractive & accessible for all, regardless of grade.
Then, I will work to increase the number of low-pressure (formal, but fostering a really informal atmosphere) events to improve the number and nature of opportunities for upperclassmen and underclassmen to interact with each other, mobilized through direct collaborative action from those within USG Senate and Class Gov
